About Dominion Dynamics

Dominion Dynamics is building Canada’s first modern defence prime : software-defined, attritable, and sovereign.

We believe tomorrow’s military power won’t hinge on exquisite platforms, but on the seamless coordination of adaptable, AI-driven capabilities across every domain. We’re building that family of systems, fielded with operators, sovereign by design, and accountable to Canada’s democratic values.

We move fast, deploy with the CAF, especially in the Arctic, and operate with uncompromising respect for Canadian law, treaty obligations, and the CAF community.

Our founding team includes former operators from Anduril, Google, Amazon, and the Canadian Armed Forces. We’re building hard tech in hard places, and we're looking for system-level thinkers who thrive at the intersection of autonomy, aerospace, and national security.

Why This Role Matters

High-fidelity sensing and real-time perception are the foundation of reliable, autonomous operations in remote and contested environments. This role closes the gap between experimental ML research and operational sensor fusion pipelines that must run deterministically at the edge; its output directly improves situational awareness, robustness, and mission effectiveness.

The Role : Forward Deployed Software Engineer - Information & Sensor Fusion

You will drive the development and deployment of sensor-fusion and perception systems; from model development and real-time inference to integration with edge compute and data pipelines. This role focuses on producing high-performance, testable fusion stacks that deliver robust, explainable outputs under field conditions.

Note : This role includes a forward-deployed mandate . You’ll work hands-on with deployed systems and operators in real-world environments

What You’ll Do

• Design, train, and validate sensor-fusion models and perception pipelines using Python and frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow.
• Implement real-time inference and optimization techniques suitable for edge compute and constrained hardware.
• Implement perception pipelines that combine Computer Vision (CV) with classical estimation; support visual pipelines using OpenCV, OpenGL / WebGL where appropriate.
• Build data ingestion, preprocessing, and labeling tooling for high-throughput sensor streams.
• Implement unit / integration tests and continuous evaluation to detect model drift and performance regressions.
• Collaborate closely with embedded systems, and mechanical teams to define interfaces and verify end-to-end behavior.
• Support field trials and on-site model tuning; iterate rapidly based on deployment feedback.
• Document algorithms, performance baselines, and operational constraints for cross-functional teams.

What You’ll Bring
